Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

For Dog walking, he earns $30 for 5 hours of work.

He earns $36 for 6 hours of work.

$30/5 hours = $6/hour

$36/6 hours = $6/hour

He earns $6/hour dog walking.

For 8 hours, he earns 8 hours * $6/hour = $48

To earn $66, he works 66/6 = 11 hours.

5 30

6 36

8 48

11 66

Part B:

He earns $7/hour for yard work, so multiply the number of hours by 7 to find the money he earns.

Table for yard work

Hours     Money

5             $35

6             $42

8             $56

Part C:

For 5 hours, he earns $35 for yard work and $30 as a dog walker.

$35 - $30 = $5
